The domineering president goes on a blind date

"I'm in for a treat today." Gu Shuxuan didn't hesitate and sat down directly.

Ke Xingyao also heard about Gu Shuxuan's family from hearsay and didn't take it too seriously.

Xia Zixi didn't know the Gu family at all, and she didn't mind.

Tong Nuanwan realized that she felt a little awkward about Gu Shuxuan's sudden behavior of having dinner with her.

"I went to discuss a contract and was wondering what to eat today. I didn't expect you to solve it for me."

"That's perfect, hotpot is meant to be eaten by many people together." Xia Zixi placed the dish of oil and sauce in front of Gu Shuxuan.

Tong Nuanwan poked Xia Zixi under the table.

Although Xia Zixi didn't know what was going on, she knew that Tong Nuanwan would not remind her for no reason.

"Shu Xuan, can you handle spicy food? We ordered the Nine Squares dish, which is all spicy."

A flash of surprise passed through Gu Shuxuan's eyes.

"Sister, don't you like spicy food?"

Gu Shuyan looked at them. She always felt that she had schemed against everyone in today's incident and felt a little guilty, so she kept catering to their preferences.

"Not eating spicy food and wanting to eat it are two different things. Today I want to eat something spicy."

"Shu Yan, you can't eat spicy food. You'd better eat less. Spicy food itself hurts the stomach. Let's switch to a double-flavored hotpot. We can eat the same thing."

Gu Shuyan felt even more guilty. They treated her as a friend, but her first priority was profit.

The waiter brought the soup base and everyone prepared the sauce together. Gu Shuxuan looked at Gu Shuyan from time to time. She must have been very uncomfortable with this atmosphere.

"I want to add some vinegar." Ke Xingyao reached out to take the vinegar bottle next to Gu Shuxuan.

Gu Shuxuan picked up the vinegar bottle and handed it to her.

"Thank you..." Ke Xingyao's fingers accidentally touched Gu Shuxuan's hand and stayed there for a few seconds.

The stay was short, but they still caught it.

Tong Nuanwan had a complicated expression and didn't know how to explain to Ke Xingyao?

Gu Shuyan's heart sank instantly. She didn't want Ke Xingyao to be involved in the Gu family.

Xia Zixi had a silly look on her face. Although she didn't know what was going on, she felt that there must be a reason why Tong Nuanwan didn't allow her to contact Gu Shuxuan.

Ke Xingyao poured the vinegar into the oil dish and placed the vinegar bottle next to herself.

She reached out and grabbed Gu Shuxuan's hand. Everyone present was surprised at Ke Xingyao's behavior.

Ke Xingyao held Gu Shuxuan's hand and looked left and right.

"Xingyao, what are you doing?" Tong Nuanwan reminded in a low voice.

"Look," Ke Xingyao raised Gu Shuxuan's hand and showed it to everyone, "His hands are so rough and full of calluses."

Although Gu Shuxuan is the second young master of the Gu family, the Gu family started out as a cargo ship company, and he needs to do all the research and development of various ships himself.

The time he spends with steel plates, wood, various wires, and large machine tools is longer than the time he spends with Gu's family.

In the manufacture of this ship, he basically installed every steel plate and every piece of wood by himself. Over the years, not to mention the calluses on his palms, injuries are a common occurrence.

But... no one has ever seen his hands, not even his mother or sister, ever mentioned how rough his palms were.

"There's a wound here. Does it hurt?"

There is a scar on Gu Shuxuan’s palm that runs through it. It was when he was fifteen years old and a steel plate on a ship slipped and almost broke his hand in two, but no one asked him if it hurt.

"I'm fine." Gu Shuxuan withdrew his hand and looked at the bright girl in front of him. It was as if a ray of sunshine penetrated into his heart that had been dark for a long time.

"Sister, I have something to do, you guys eat!" Gu Shuxuan got up and left.
